Who Is It For?

Cogent DataHub is built for end users in manufacturing and process industries who need to integrate and utilize their operational data.

Controls & Automation Engineers

Connect PLCs, SCADA/HMI, and control systems to IT databases or cloud apps without custom interfaces. Eliminate OPC DCOM headaches and reliably share real-time data across systems.

Digital Transformation Teams

Create a unified, real-time data infrastructure (Unified Namespace) that feeds analytics, AI/ML, and Industry 4.0 initiatives. Rapidly integrate new IIoT sources and legacy systems into a single source of truth.

Plant Managers & Operators

Gain improved visibility and decision support by aggregating data from multiple production lines and sites. Enable faster troubleshooting, reduced downtime, and data-driven continuous improvement.

IT / OT Architects

Securely bridge OT data to enterprise IT and cloud environments in line with cybersecurity policies. Avoid one-off custom integrations by using a scalable, vendor-agnostic platform for industrial connectivity.

Key Benefits & Capabilities

By aggregating and modeling all your operational data at the edge, N3uron empowers operations teams to analyze data in real time.

Unified Data Integration

Connect any industrial data source or protocol into one hub. DataHub aggregates OPC (UA & Classic), MQTT, Modbus, databases, Excel, and more into a single unified data set. Once data is in DataHub, it's just 'data,' instantly accessible for any client or application.

Cloud & AI Ready

Easily stream plant data to cloud platforms and analytics tools. Cogent DataHub can publish real-time data to Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, or any MQTT broker with just a few clicks. No need for cloud-specific gateways - DataHub's built-in IoT Gateway securely sends your data.

High Performance & Scalability

Built to handle industrial scale, DataHub has been tested with up to 100,000 data changes per second with minimal added latency. It can manage extremely large systems with over 2,000,000 tags in a single instance across distributed architectures.

Proven & Fast ROI

Field-proven across multiple industries, DataHub delivers value quickly. Solutions can often be implemented in hours or days, not weeks, meaning you start seeing benefits like improved visibility or reduced downtime almost immediately.

Secure Data Transport

Designed with security in mind, DataHub moves data through firewalls, DMZs, and proxies without exposing your control network. Its tunneling technology encrypts data and eliminates the need for VPNs or open inbound ports on OT networks.

Reliability & Redundancy

Ensure high availability of your data. DataHub offers built-in redundancy options for critical links - including redundant OPC server connections and mirrored DataHub instances so there is no single point of failure.

Flexible & Modular Licensing

Only pay for the capabilities you need. Cogent DataHub's features are modular - such as OPC Gateway, MQTT client/broker, Bridge, Logger, etc. so you can start with a cost-effective solution pack and add more features as your project grows.

Legacy OPC Modernization

Modernize your OPC Classic infrastructure without ripping and replacing. DataHub can tunnel OPC DA and A&E data across networks (eliminating problematic DCOM) and even convert between OPC UA and OPC DA seamlessly.

Unified Integration & Cloud Connectivity

Cogent DataHub brings together different protocols and systems into one cohesive data environment. Once you connect DataHub to an OPC server or a field device, that data can immediately be bridged to any other supported interface.

Map PLC tag values into a SQL database
Push SCADA alarms to an MQTT broker
Send sensor readings to cloud APIs in parallel
Support for Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and third-party MQTT brokers
Stream to Apache Kafka and Azure Event Hubs for event-driven architectures

Secure & Reliable Data Transfer

When integrating OT and IT, security and reliability are paramount. Cogent DataHub was built from the ground up to securely move data across network boundaries.

cogent-datahub-realtime-industrial-data-integration-17

Secure Tunneling

Transmit data between sites or network zones without opening inbound firewall ports on your control network. All communications are encrypted and restricted by user credentials.

Data Diode Support

One-way Data Diode mode configurations physically enforce that critical data only flows outwards to higher-level systems.

Redundancy & Failover

Configure redundant data sources and run mirrored DataHub instances for hot failover. Store-and-forward buffering ensures no data loss during temporary outages.

Easy Configuration & Extensibility

Cogent DataHub is built for rapid deployment and easy customization. Its user-friendly web interface, scripting language, and API make it accessible to engineers without programming expertise while offering deep extensibility for custom integrations.

No-Code Configuration

Point-and-click tools for configuring connections, data flows, and logic. Set up bridging, logging, and tunneling with ease.

WebView Dashboards

Create and deploy web-based real-time dashboards and HMI screens straight from the DataHub environment. No separate development tools required.

Visual Diagnostics

Data flow monitors and connection viewers help troubleshoot any issues in real time. Heartbeat signals and quality indicators confirm communication health.
